backing.

Electrical Preparation

WARNING

● Proper grounding is required for your safety, to prevent electrical shock or fire. The refrigerator is provided with the proper grounding for internal electric faults from the factory. This grounding must not be removed or altered.

● Ensure that the converter or DC power supply is grounded properly per manufacturers instruction. Per RVIA the power supply is required to be isolated and grounded with the Coach Chassis.

CAUTION

This refrigerator will accept voltage levels up to 17V DC only. Anything other than this, including any AC power will cause product damage and void the warranty.

● The refrigerator requires a power source that can adequately provide 10.5 - 17V DC to function properly. Furrion Recommends Power Center (FCVSWC42A or FCVSWC54A) and Lithium Battery (FB12I10C) to match with.

● The refrigerator should be dedicated to a single branch circuit, and must be fused for 15A minimum. NOTE: An internal 15A fuse is provided with the product. This is only intended to protect the internal wiring of the unit. It will not protect the power source and wiring to the product and is not to be used as a substitute. The internal fuse will however allow for a larger rated branch circuit. NOTE: Sharing power with other devices on the same branch circuit may cause transient surges and voltage drops. These interferences may damage or limit functionally of all devices on the branch circuit. NOTE: When replacing an absorption refrigerator, the power supplied is usually shared with other powered features in the coach, such as overhead lights. A separate dedicated branch circuit will be preferred to eliminate flickering during compressor operation.

● The maximum input of the appliance is rated for 11A. All wiring must follow RVIA and NEC standards based on the input rating.

● Apply the following wiring guidelines to achieve maximum performance out of the battery reserve.

● If additional grounding is desired for external faults to the refrigerator chassis, an external grounding wire can be prepared and attached directly to the terminal block. The terminal block is rated for Maximum 300V at 25A.

● Enter service wire into the cabinet space. It is acceptable to enter through the cabinet floor, sidewall or ceiling. Ensure that the wire is within the ¼" space provided to the back of the unit and cabinet.

NOTE: For replacement of an existing refrigerator, the

wire may need to be re-routed into the cabinet if the

entryway point is not within the ¼" spacing.

● If no sidewall access panel/vent is available to reach the rear wire connection of the appliance, plan for the appropriate wire length to reach outside of the cabinet so the wire connection can be made before installing. NOTE: Furrion recommends dropping the 12V feed wire from the upper rear of the cabinet down to the terminal block. Temporarily affix the wires to the upper half of the appliance with tape so that excess wire will droop without risk of rubbing with the appliance chassis and floor during installation.
